Way too early 2019 ski trip question

I’m assuming you are talking about Backpacker? If so, while it’s an easy one stop shop, skiing trips are so easy to plan, you can do it yourself and cheaper.

Christmas/New Year’s will be packed and twice as expensive


Kids ski free in Keystone

Better snow at Mardi Gras, most likely.

Their prices aren't bad if you just want to pay for the convenience. And there is some value in going with a group of people. (Instant friends).
They probably give you a discount on purchasing gear. I think the plane is chartered. So, that's nice. There may be some minor group rate discounts, too.
But, we usually plan and execute our own trip. It's usually cheaper, not hard to do, and we get to set all of the details.


Late Jan/ all of Feb/ Early March is the best time to go. Better snow base. Guaranteed open runs. No holiday traffic.
Mardi Gras is really only a Louisiana holiday. Everywhere else uses President's week, apparently. (The 3rd Monday in February.)
I think they overlap in 2021, 2023, 2026, & 2034.
When that happens, rates will be higher that week and crowds larger.
